Chapter 645: Feelings (12/100)
"Guys, this is an amazing work."
"You can add Theking to the list of people who will enter the fourth round."
"The best thing is that Holmes can tell someone's occupation by observation! This is super cool!"
"When I first saw Elementary, I fell in love with it. In this round, several masters who were the favorites to win, including Gunn and Manchester, were defeated by this mystery writer called Theking!"
This is a very modern conference room in the West.
The place where this conference room is located is called the world's mystery holy land by the outside world!
At this moment, a group of people with different skin colors and body shapes in the conference room are singing praises to a work. If someone walks in to take a look, they will find that in front of everyone in the conference room, there is a copy of "The Sign of Four" turned to the last page.
"Now it's time to vote."
The speaker is Raul, the editor-in-chief of "Aurora Brain".
And these people of different skin colors are the judges of the World Mystery Competition held by "Aurora Brain". The works that rank first in each round of the competition will be published by them in "Aurora Brain", which has a very high circulation in the world.
"I love Sherlock Holmes!"
"Me too, I love Theking."
"I really love Elementary."
"To hell with Manchester, I choose Theking this time."
For the first time, the answers were so consistent, and all nine judges chose "The Sign of Four" without exception!
This is the second round of the World Mystery Contest. Teacher Theking, who performed mediocrely in the first round, finally radiated an extremely bright light. "The Sign of Four" beat several of the world's top mystery writers and topped the first pick in this round.
"But I heard that Theking is not Japanese."
"I heard that too. Oh, judging from his writing, he should be an American."
"Bullshit, Jack, Teacher Theking chose our British background, he is definitely British!"
Looking at the judges who were arguing, Editor-in-Chief Raul said helplessly: "Okay, everyone, we still have to eliminate some works next. Be serious. "Aurora Brain" is a holy land, and there are many eyes on us from the outside world!"
"Well, that Dongfang Yu's work is actually A-level again."
"Uh, I didn't expect it to be a surprise again. The young man from Longguo is really lucky."
"It shouldn't be luck. Is it really a mysterious power from the East? Haha, Japan's Endo Ma also advanced. This work is quite impactful. As the only contestant left in Japan, Endo Ma is under a lot of pressure."
...
While the judges of "Aurora Brain" were discussing with each other.
In a bedroom in Japan, Lu Yu'er was translating a story called "Red Hair Society".
【One day last fall, I went to visit my friend Sherlock Holmes.
When I saw him, he was having a deep conversation with a short, fat, ruddy, and fiery-haired old man.
I apologized for my abruptness. Just as I was about to leave, Holmes unexpectedly grabbed me and pulled me into the room, closing the door behind him. He said kindly: My dear Watson, it’s really a good time for you to come...】
After translating this paragraph, Lu Yuer couldn’t help laughing.
I don’t know if it’s Luo Shu’s bad taste, but in the Holmes series he wrote, Watson’s existence is very much like Holmes’ good friend, and the various interactions between the two in the book are also full of strong gay love.
In addition, Lu Yuer also found that Luoyang’s portrayal of Holmes’ character image is very clear.
[He curled up in a chair, his skinny knees almost touching his hooked nose... He sat there quietly with his eyes closed, holding a black ceramic pipe that looked like the long, pointed beak of some rare bird. ]
This is Holmes' habit as a detective.
This scene is written in the first two chapters of Luoyang.
The armchair, the micro-movements of the fingertips and Holmes' pipe are very vivid.
While translating, Lu Yuer even fell in love with this unique character. You know, she had no interest in detective novels before. As a romance writer, she was more attracted by love.
Swish, swish, the speed is relatively fast.
Now Lu Yuer is more and more handy in translating novels.
She used to stay in the United States and the United Kingdom for a long time, so her English is so good. On the contrary, she did not stay in Longguo for too long. She just visited all the major tourist attractions and started her global travel.
When the translation was finished, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Lu Yuer felt a little tired, but she didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, she looked back at the content of her translation.
"Some sentences are not processed well, and they need to be revised tomorrow, but these will be completed tomorrow... This story, Luo Shu seems to have written another incredible story, which is as exciting as that of "The Sign of Four"..."
In short, this is a story of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
A high-IQ criminal dug a tunnel leading to the bank, but it was eventually discovered by Sherlock Holmes.
The book is filled with the usual cleverness, Watson's character is mainly shown by his psychological activities, and Holmes's character is shown through Watson's observations.
What Lu Yuer admires the most is that Luoyang uses the first-person narration and displays the "I" in the article so lowly in front of the readers from beginning to end, in order to highlight Holmes's wisdom.
For laymen, watching the excitement, but for professionals, Watson may seem very hot-tempered when compared to Sherlock Holmes, but when Lu Yu'er read this story, she clearly knew that Watson's portrayal was in fact no less charming than Sherlock Holmes.
Without Watson, Holmes would be overshadowed.
This is the scary thing about Luo Shu. Every step of the plot in the novel contains a very deep meaning and is closely linked to each step. Does this mean that some of Luoyang's daily words and demeanor have their own special meanings? Woolen cloth?
Lu Yu'er thought wildly for a while, stood up, and said to herself: "Let's go to sleep!"
After saying that, she closed the book, washed herself and changed into pajamas, then went to bed. However, she tossed and turned in the dark, but she never fell asleep. She kept thinking about the man named Luo Shu, and there was something very strange in her heart. Feel.
Having written romance for many years, Lu Yuer knows this feeling.
To be precise, I have written about similar feelings countless times in novels, but in reality, this is the first time I have experienced this feeling in person:
The little deer bumps into each other, and your heart is pounding?
